      No doubt! Took me until now to make the hop. If it wasn't for the updates I probably would have kept it another year. I'm just glad they came out with very similar phones this year and didn't get rid of my favorite features on the 2xl...other than squeeze for assistance

    great video! Pixel 2XL has a larger usable screen area than the PIxel 5 due to the aspect ratio difference. 93 square cm vs 88. I would say the area of the Pixel 2XL screen is closer to the Pixel 4a 5G, which has 96 sq cm.

    Love my Pixel 2XL. Still in perfect condition 3 years later, albeit the 64Gb was pretty full.
    I got lucky and got one of the ones where it looks like they had fixed their initial screen issues.
    But I want the continuing software updates so bought a 4a 5G a week ago.
    It was on sale with $100AUD off (P5 is $1000AUD, 4a5g was $800AUD and 4a is $600AUD) - making the value proposition much better.
    Kind of bummed I missed the boxing day special where it was a further $50 off.
    A glass screen protector from Spigen was $20, so that makes the Gorilla Glass 3 a non-issue.
    Case ($20) helps to offset the water resistance thing a touch.
    2GB extra RAM makes little difference to my usage.
    Never had an issue with my USB-C and have lived without wireless charging for this long, so don't miss it now.
    So I feel I'm still well ahead, and the $300 jump to the P5 just not worth it.

    Excellent comparison and a well produced video. I still love my 2XL but my wife just got a 4a5G and that just feels slicker in a very subjective way. For me the dealbreaker is I would like to be able to plug in a charger and also wired headphones at the same time, so I need that jack. I have never got a phone wet so that's a low risk for me.

We were supposed to stop getting updates of any kind in October but went through December anyway. Google just switched to four years of updates. That's why I could see them giving the 2xl one more is next year. They are more powerful than anything google offers now in terms of raw brute power. The last true flagship google offered. I don't count the 3xl because all 3 of my 2xl's are faster than my daughter's 3xl. The 845 was either not faster or the phone itself is slower than a 2xl

So for $200 net USD I couldn't say no; I feel the phone was priced pretty right at the start so getting it for $200 was insane. I now look on their site and Google Store is selling refurbed P3s for $250 or similar, I'd really love the rationale behind why they offered so much in trade. I really dig this phone and not just cause it cost me so little!

      For real! My guess is that google learns a lot about the wear and tear on the phones when they offer trade ins. Maybe that's why they offer such great deals?...I don't know just guessing haha. Glad you were able to grab one at such a good deal!

    Pixel 2 xl is still the best phone they have ever made, I will take front facing speakers with no pinhole in the screen thank you. I got that for their next phone they just revamp the 2xl and call it pixel 6. Bigger screen smaller besels. Same front facing speakers. Same water resistance. Better screen quality. And just add a wide angle lens. I think it's kinda beast to just have one lens on the back and still take amazing photos. I honestly haven't bought a pixel since 2xl. Hopefully they can beat that phone.
